which says, "the most recent GUI is back to the old behavior." Does this refer to some more recent GUI than the following?
sessionInfo()

By "the old behavior" does Simon Urbanek mean mean what R used to to from time immemorial, i.e., that hitting ESC would get me out of the current command line, whether I have hit ENTER or not? To reproduce the problem: Start at R prompt on a Mac type: rnorm(100000000000000000) and do not hit enter. Hit ESC. I do not get the R prompt. I do not get out of the current command. Click with the mouse on the STOP button. I do not get the R prompt. I do not get out of the current command. How can I get R to behave as it used to behave, with respect to ESC and the STOP key?
